TieCon 2012

Spent 2 days (Friday and Saturday) at TieCon 2012. I must say each year I come back very impressed from the conference. For one, the sheer task of organizing such a big conference and no glitches. 150+ volunteers.... they even had one keynote speaker chicken out (Cisco VP) at the last minute and yet recovered quite gracefully from it and had someone else fill in. Second,thousands of entrepreneurs in attendance - huge networking opportunity and the sheer energy - quite amazing. Third, the choice of key note speakers - Deepak Chopra (always impressive and elegant as ever), Sam Pitroda (super impressive and down to earth) and others. Then, the panels and topic selections very very relevant. Overall, 10 out of 10. After the excitement of the last 2 days, it is back to work (or the lack thereof). :) Heck, I am not complaining. I am oscillating between starting and not starting a job search. Hopefully, will decide soon. It is a weird feeling not bringing home a paycheck.
